Visiting a new state means trying new foods. Often states have their own favorites or their own ways of doing things. Funnel cake (top image) appears to be a Pennsylvania thing, at least in being readily available as historically they are associated with the Pennsylvania Dutch region. What they are is basically unhealthy - batter poured into boiling hot fat and cooking till brown and in this case, sprinkled with confectioners sugar.
If you've ever watched either Man v Food or the Best Sandwich in America both hosted by Adam Richman visiting the original Primanti Brothers restaurant in Pittsburgh's strip district. The signature dish of Primanti Brothers are sandwiches filled with Italian dressing coleslaw, salad and fries all served inside two pieces of Italian bread. To say the tuna cheese sandwich I had was delicious would be an understatement and they certainly deserve to be in the 1,000 Places to See Before You Die in the USA and Canada guidebook.
And what would be better for finishing this post then the 42 foot Heinz 57 ketchup sign - through the use of lights the bottle fills up and slowly pours out every thirty seconds.
Would love to hear if you love any food a particular state is associated with!
